Connect REST API Developer Guide

Integrate mobile apps, intranet sites, and third-party web applications with Salesforce using Connect REST API. Responses are localized, structured for presentation, and can be filtered to contain only what the app needs.

Available in: All editions except Personal Edition. In addition, some features require Chatter to be enabled for the organization.

Use Connect REST API to display Chatter feeds, users, groups, and followers, especially in mobile applications. Connect REST API also provides programmatic access to files, recommendations, topics, notifications, Data.com purchasing, and more. Connect REST API is similar to APIs offered by other companies with feeds, such as Facebook and Twitter, but it also exposes Salesforce features beyond Chatter.

Many Connect REST API resource actions are exposed as static methods on Apex classes in the ConnectApi namespace. These classes are called Connect in Apex. Use Connect in Apex to create custom experiences in Salesforce. Connect in Apex is available in all organizations and editions that have Apex enabled.
